Stella's POV: it's been a couple days since I was rushed into med and had an emergency C-section to deliver a beautiful babies Kinsley and Karter they were born so tiny but they are fighters, we did learn that they both have some kind of heart condition which is scary at first but the doctors told us they are healthy considering. Yesterday they both had their first surgery they made it through pretty good every day since they have been born we gone down to the NICU to be with them. Right now we are visiting them while they are sleeping
NM= hey guys I figured you guys would be down here
AS= how are they doing
S= they are doing amazing
K= they are fighting
AS= of course they are they are pretty strong
K= just like their mom
NM= oh how sweet
S= he is so sweet
AS= how are are you feeling Stella
S= i'm feeling pretty good but not 100% yet
NM= that's good to hear so the main reason we came down to say hi is we have some news
K= oh you do what is it
AS= well you are finally cleared to go home Stella
S= I am
NM= yeah your C-section scar looks great and you are able to walk around on your own now
K= that's good to hear
AS= so I will go get you started on your discharge papers
K= all right
S= hey April
AS= yea Stella
S= can you maybe take your time to get the papers ready I'm kind of not in a hurry to leave these kids yet
AS= all right I can do that
K= thanks April
AS= it's no problem ( she leaves )
NM= I will leave you guys alone for right now I'll check on you later bye before you leave
S= all right thanks Natalie
NM= it's no problem ( she leaves)
K= that's exciting we get to go home
S= yeah it is
K= you seem a little sad about going home don't you want to go see the kids
S= Of course I want to go home and see the kids but that just means we will be leaving these two babies here all alone
K= yeah that makes sense but we will be here to see them each and every day and also probably get Constant photos and have updates sent us every day from the nurses
S= okay you make a good point but maybe one more hour before we Head upstairs
K= all right we can do that
We stayed with the twins for about an hour longer than we had upstairs to get her stuff ready and get dressed about an hour later we were ready to go home
AS= hey guys how's it going in here
S= we are all packed up
K= and ready to go
AS= all right well here is your discharge papers kelly do you want to go bring all your stuff down to the car
K= it's not much I can carry it
AS= oh wait let me go get a wheelchair for you Stella ( she does) here is your chariot Stella
S= why thank you April
AS= it's no problem let's get you to the car
S= actually April before we leave can we stop by that NICU to see Kinsley and Karter
AS= of course we can let's go

April wheels me all the way to the car she helps me into the car while Kelly puts away our stuff
AS= looks like you're all set

K= aww babe it will be okay ( kisses her hand)
S= God I hope so
We drive home in silence it seems longer to get home this time around but we couldn't wait to see all of our other kids we haven't seen in a few days
Jennifer's pov; it's crazy stella and kelly I'm having another set of twins they are the white ones to have two sets of twins. About two months ago they learned that Stella has a pretty serious pregnancy condition that was life-threatening but overall the babies were healthy. A few days ago it was Kelly's birthday so when I went to call them to say happy birthday to Kelly they surprise me with some news of their own which was that the babies decided to come early and come on his birthday. It's seem like they came too early but they are doing well according to them. Once I got off the phone with kelly and stellaride decided to call Katie and Benny because I think we all should go up and surprise them with a visit, they all agreed that that was a good idea so we all booked a flight to Chicago as soon as possible. We all arrived within an hour of each other once we wait we got a text from Kelly that they got cleared to come home today without the babies so we all decided that we should go over to the house and surprise them when we arrived at their house we were greeted by the nanny and the kids we started getting the house decorated for them to come home, about two hours later we all hear them pull up
JS= kids your parents are home
LM= I can't wait to see
KT= but let's be quiet when they come in
SM= all right Aunt Katie ( lights get turn off)
K= ( they Walk in) I wonder why it's so dark in here
S= yeah it's strange
JS= ( turns on the lights) welcome home
SA= daddy is home
K= wait mom, dad, Katie and Jackson what are you guys doing here
S= why am I not at all surprised that you're here
KT= well we wanted to come see you guys
JT= and to check on the kids
JS= and maybe see my newest grandkids
BS= which speaking of those grandkids how are they doing
S= hold on let me sit down for a second ( she does)
K= kids why don't you go sit by mommy on the couch
LM= all right daddy
S= ( hugs them) I miss you guys so much
SM= we miss you too mom
K= where is Greyson at
DN= he is taking a nap he should be up here shortly
S= All right that's good so kids were you good while I was in the hospital
LM= yes we were
SG= i'm just sad we can't celebrate daddy's birthday
K= i'm a little sad too sailor bug
S= but besides daddy we also can celebrate your new brother and sisters because they chose to be born on daddy's birthday
LM= just like me and Sailor were Born on your birthday
K= that is correct Lulu
S= anyways back to your question Benny
The twins are doing pretty great after they had their surgery yesterday
SM= when do they get to come home
SG= and when do we meet them mom and dad
K= well they have to stay in the hospital for a while guys to get bigger and stronger
S= and we don't know if you guys can be allowed to visit them at the hospital
SM= all right
K= so kids do you want to know your sister and brothers name
LM= yes we do
S= all right and look aunt April just sent pictures of them ( first picture) so this first picture is your baby sister
K= and her name is Kinsley faith she weighed 4 lbs. 4 oz.
KT= she is so tiny
K= yes she is, so the next photo is of your little brother
S= and his name is Karter Nathaniel he weighed 4 lbs. 7 oz.
JS= they both are so tiny
K= oh yeah
Everyone looks at the photos for a few before we hear Greyson waking up
S= sounds like little man is up
DN= i'll go get him
K= no way I mean I'll get him you have done enough we appreciate you so much for what you've been doing for us for the last week and a half
S= you don't have to stay any longer we can get this handled but thank you again for doing everything you could this last week
DN= it's no problem and all right then enjoy your kids they are pretty great
S= yes they are ( she leaves)
K= Greyson look who's here
GA=momma ! ( runs to her)
S= there is my little grey grey I miss seeing your smiling face ( starts to pick him up)
K= wait so you can't pick him up let me put him on your lap for you
S= all right
KT= i'm guessing the C-section recovery
is a lot harder than giving birth naturally
S= yes it is I can't lift anything over 10 pounds for a couple weeks
K= so she can't pick up Greyson for a couple weeks
JS= I bet that will be very hard to not do
S= oh yeah
GA= baby ( points to her belly)
S= oh baby the babies are in there anymore they are at the hospital getting bigger and stronger each day so you come home and play if you
GA= okay mommy
KT= so since we missed Kelly's birthday how do you started to make a cake so I can at least sing you happy birthday
K= you don't have to
KT= I know but it's more for the kids so let's eat cake
We all sing Kelly happy birthday and then we all eat a slice or two a cake while the kids tell us all about what they did while kelly and stella were at the hospital . A couple hours later we all had dinner and then the kids went on the bed after a while. Once they were in bed we all caught up and talked about things throughout the week Kelly and or Stella took us to see the babies at the hospital. We left after being there for a week
Authors note: sorry this chapter is a little short anyway I hope the part when I told the nanny that she can leave didn't sound mean I was trying to portrayed as we appreciate the nanny for doing as much as she did since she was probably the caregiver for the kids and she didn't need to stay longer because they got it handled.
